Hi everyone,
Last month we had say good bye to a very dear family member of ours.
We had to have the Vet. put down our beloved pet of 13 years, "Meisha Marie" a Keeshond dog because of poor health. A very sad day for us :'(!
My wife took it especially hard as Meisha was her dog.
I was really surprised when my wife started to put together a memories scrapbook of Meisha so soon after our loss.
So me being me, I had to make my version of Meisha memories.
I'd been saving a thin piece of curly maple that I had sawn from a butt flare for a special project. Well that special project was upon me now.
So I made a walnut base and added a little pyrography to the maple.
The below pictures are what I came up with to add to the memories of "Meisha Marie".

Sorry of hear of your loss, Brian. I am still trying to get through a similar situation over a year ago. The wife decided to get another ST. Bernard out of Kansas.
Anyway, What a nice tribute to a friend. I am not understanding how you put the picture on the wood. Could you explain the procees, please?
Brian, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss of Meisha Marie. I know she was part of your family and will be dearly missed. Dogs don't ask for much and give all their devotion in return.
Thanks for showing us your memorial to Meisha Brian. Please give Mrs' Bailey my sympathies for the loss of a good friend.
Brian, what a wonderful way to remember a dear friend.
Thats beautiful.
Thanks everyone for your sympathies.
We will miss her dearly, just as we have missed the others that have gone before her.
doublecut, I'll send you a IM.
Frank, the process is just like drawing a picture with a pencil, except I use wood burning pens that have various tips to get the visual effect that I seek.
A beautiful job.
Dogs become like kids of the Family, but sometimes better behaved. :-\ Sorry for the loss.
